The following function can be used to copy rtf data from a Delphi TRichEd to
a Delphi String. Once you have the rtf data in a string you can return the
value in the JITPipeline.OnGetFieldAsString and JITPipeline.OnGetFieldValue

Create a main report. Use only the main report's detail band, which has
three section style subreports in it. Use the pagestyle band in each
subreport. Resize the pagestyle bands to be the height of the page. You can

You may want to create multiple section style (Subreport.PrintBehavior)
subreports inside of a main report. Create a different pagestyle band in
each one. Create one for every page that you want ot print. The section

We aren't getting an index out of bounds in our tests. I don't know if
resetting the liStartRow would fix the problem, though it appears that it

The Windows 98 printer drivers are poorly written. Some printer drivers even
leak memory:( We are continuing our efforts for a solution in this matter.
Thankyou, for your patience.

Try a Laserjet 4 driver to see if it is the driver's fault.

Yes, you can install any printer driver as the default one. RB will use the
default printer driver to generate and determine the pagination for the
report, even when previewing to the screen. The line problem can only be
researched b… -
Some printer drivers aren't able to draw lines very well. Try a Laserjet 4
printer driver (this driver works well for us) as a test to see if it is the
driver's fault.

Beginning with RB 5.56, there is a new property called
Report.NoDataBehaviors. Try upgrading to RB 6.03 to check it out. Contact

You may have to create a special reports for this printer, which are resized
to fit on that printer's printable area. Most likely, the problem is that
the driver is returning a larger area available than it can actually print
to. Yo… -
Can you perform a customization to assign the display format if the value is
3 zero's? Use the OnPrint event of the dbText to set the display format to
$#,0.00#;($#,0.00#) when it is not three zeros, and $#,0.00;($#,0.00) when
it e… -

Check out the installed Enduser Databases demo directory. Look in the
Interbase folder, and there should be a dbExpress end user demo.

You can create TppDrawLine objects on a each page. The draw command
positioning precision is measured in microns (thousandths of millimeters).
It should look really good on the printer with this approach.

We've noticed the same behavior. We'll look into optimizing this. Thankyou,

Use a master-detail report configuration. The subreport should contain what

If your custom dataviews mirror our demos, then I would uninstall RB. Then
make sure that no RB files are lingering anywhere on your machine. These
are the files you'll be looking to remove:

Cheers,The DetailBand's BeforePrint may fire multiple times for each record, where
the OnCalc will fire only once. This may be the reason that you're seeing
the BeforePrint fire before and after. Run the event tracker demos in the
main repo…
